About this ebook
If you love Bridgerton, you'll love Georgette Heyer!
'The greatest writer who ever lived' Antonia Fraser
'A rollicking good read that will be of particular joy to Bridgerton viewers' Independent
'Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's' Joanne Harris
'Utter, immersive escapism' Sophie Kinsella
__________________
The charming Sophia Stanton-Lacy is a force to be reckoned with.
When Sophy is sent to stay with her London relatives, she finds her cousins in quite the tangle.
Cecilia is besotted with an attractive but feather-brained poet, Hubert has fallen foul of a money-lender, and the ruthlessly handsome Charles is engaged to a pedantic bluestocking who seems to bring out the worst in him...
Fortunately, Sophy has arrived just in time to sort them all out - but Charles is eager to rid his family of her meddlesome ways. Has the Grand Sophy finally met her match?

No! Am I the only one who thinks Sophy was a PSYCHO?!!! She was beyond being a control freak. What was that shot scene for? I was enjoying the read until 3/4 of the book, and was amazed how a few chapters ruined it all for me :/ No.

What a wordsmith is Miss Heyer. With one well chosen word she can reduce the reader to tears of laughter while holding you spellbound in the weft and warp of a tangled romance.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. Sophy ranks alongside Venetia as one off Georgette heyer's all time favourite heroines!
